Chip Roy Slams Dems, GOP Who Voted To Draft Women Into Military: ‘Go Straight To Hell’
Republican Rep. Chip Roy (Texas) recently made a blistering attack against Democrats and Republicans who voted to require women to be listed in the military draft telling his fellow lawmakers to “go straight to hell.”
The lawmaker — who has a young daughter — made an epic rant on social media after the House Armed Services Committee voted on Wednesday to push the measure that would mandate women to register for Selective Service.
Roy took his daughter to the White House Christmas party in 2019 and posted in delight: “My daughter was my date to the White House last night. It was a great night. God bless America and Merry Christmas!”

Roy’s Twitter rant
After the House Armed Services Committee voted in favor of an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would in effect require women to register for the military draft, Roy started his social media tirade against lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who supported the measure.
“Message to Republicans & Democrats — including @HouseGOP & @SenateGOP colleagues. I do not trust you to do anything at all, much less say you will draft my daughter to ‘non combat’ roles. Why don’t I trust you? Let’s see —” as he added a #DontDraftOurDaughters tag to his post.

Roy then listed a number of actions done by politicians that raised his doubt on the proposal claiming that women would only be restricted to “non-combat roles.”

“Maybe it’s because you (both R&D) politicized a virus … giving us wildly varying propaganda about it’s origins, the nature of it’s communicability, the efficacy of your mandated measures in response including vaccines, and ignoring of treatments,” the Texas lawmaker went on.

“Maybe it’s because both R&D have had us at war for 20 years … without any actual new AUMF or consistent guidance from our political leaders about victory … all while our troops sacrificed, and we set the stage for a gutless President to surrender and empower our enemies,” Roy added in direct reference to the recent Afghanistan debacle led by Democrat President Joe Biden.

Roy went on saying: “Maybe it’s because you’ve funded education bureaucrat after education bureaucrat to teach our kids that America is evil and racist, to take God out of our schools, and otherwise make it impossible for parents to safely turn their children over to the school.”

“Maybe it’s because you’ve (both R&D) caused America, despite sitting on a vast reserve of energy supply, to render us less secure economically and less secure against our enemies to appease institutional investors and the Acela corridor cocktail circuit,” he added.

“Now you — including likely 28 GOP House members voting for an NDAA last night to do so – want to draft my daughter and just ‘trust you’ not to put them into combat? All of DC — all of it — can go straight to hell,” Roy concluded.

Politico reported that “during late night deliberations on the committee’s annual defense policy bill, lawmakers voted 35-24 to adopt an amendment from Democrat Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (Pennsylvania) to expand registration for the Selective Service System beyond men.”
The publication noted that if the provision remains in the defense bill and passes on the House floor, the change has a high chance of becoming law, noting that the Senate Armed Services Committee adopted a similar provision in its defense bill, which awaits a floor vote.
